helpfulCK bands are quite firm, and with your measurements, in a 30 band you are using a +0.5" band fit principle which is much tighter than necessary for most women as slim as you (1.3" of squish difference between tight and loose ribcage indicates very little flesh on the ribs). I am not too sure how it will fit with an extender but I'd advise taking more photos with one on so we can better judge how the cup shape and size works on you when everything isn't distorted.
The other adjustment I'd suggest would be loosening the straps. Here in the pics we can see they are so tight they are digging into your shoulders, and pulling the band up at the back as well.
My guess is that you would still probably fit better in a bra designed with narrower cups and more center depth but that this isn't too radically far from the shape you need.

If you think the band is comfortable then I think it fits well enough, I can't see any signs of straining (though ofc if you're uncomfortable then it is too small). However, in pic #5 you're getting in cup quadding and out of cup quadding. These combined with the not tacking gore make me think the cup is too small - I think you should size up to a GG.

OK then you probably need a deeper cup as opposed to a larger one. Maybe try Cleo Hettie in 30G?

Thanks so much!!
The band is comfortable not too tight at all for me.
I missed the in cup quadding totally. Thanks for catching that. I tried a bigger size and my breasts were not well supported. They are pendulous and they were hanging in the cups, pulling the straps with them. Also, 30GG didn't tack in the gore.
